English translation

Come, O Creator Spirit, come,
And make within our hearts Thy home:
To us Thy grace celestial give,
Who of Thy breathing move and live.

O Comforter, that name is Thine,
Of God most high the gift divine:
The well of life, the fire of love,
Our souls' anointing from above.

Thou didst appear in sevenfold dower,
The gift of God's almighty power:
The Father's promise making rich
with saving truth our mortal speech.

Our senses with Thy light inflame:
Our hearts to heavn'ly love reclaim:
Our bodies' poor infirmity,
With strength perpetual fortify.

Our earthly foes afar repel,
Give us henceforth in peace to dwell;
And so, to us, with Thee for guide,
No ill shall come, no harm betide.

May we by Thee, the Father learn,
And know the Son, and Thee discern,
Who art of both; And so adore
In perfect faith for evermore.

Amen.
